Is twitter that big? Not in the long run. Because people are so shallow about it, it's likely to fade into obscurity. The proliferation of things like Tweet Grade seem to show this, as well. And, as a further note: The Purewire Tweet Grade is obviously pathetic. It's giving a tweet grade of A+ to all the celebs, and gave me and "F" on my first run and an "A-" on my second run. Which is it? - guruvan (Rob Nelson) from FriendFeed MT Plugin

I think @Jean-Michel Decombe is correct. Most people want to get their username and then worry about it later. As for the Tweetgrade; not liking my F considering I use it daily for the last six months and have had over 250 followers in that time. I use it to converse daily and to send/receive links. What else am I supposed to do to get an A? Makes me want to kill the teacher :) - Jim Gaudet from FriendFeed MT Plugin

Jim, that's what I thought, and I was in a state of disbelief, since I've tested all the other analyzers, and rate pretty highly most of the time. So, I ran Tweetgrade a second time, about 5 minutes later, and it gave me an A- So I decided it was a broken tool, and neither grade meant anything - guruvan (Rob Nelson)

Guruvan: Everything fades into obscurity eventually, however I am quite positive that Twitter will be a lasting pillar of the Internet. Twitter really is that big, and it is only going to get bigger, and as it does so will friendfeed (likely at a faster rate). - Garin Kilpatrick

Garin: I have to disagree with you on both points. Not everything fades into obscurity. (though many, if not most, do) And I definitely can't agree with the second point. Their 30day attrition rate at twitter speaks the opposite of what you say. Twitter, IMO, will only last as long as "low-tech" mobile devices that can only access via SMS remain prevalent, which may be a while yet.... more... - guruvan (Rob Nelson)

"You love Twitter, but you find its short form messages a little restricting? Or perhaps you want to add images and videos to your Tweets? TwitBlogs, which just went live in alpha, could solve all your problems." - Kathleen Anderson from Bookmarklet
